Adult-onset hippocampal α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor loss rapidly drives Alzheimer-like neuropathology in mice
Introduction The reduction of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) in the hippocampus con-stitutes one of the neuropathological features observed in the brains of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and α7 nAChR is crucial to cognitive process. However, studies involving α7 nAChR knockout mice have not de...
